Sample excerpt
Nothing happened today and I want to tell you about it, the way the dog moved twice to follow the shade. Beans are coming in, truck still makes that sound, your mother called and talked for forty minutes.
Wish you were sitting where you used to sit, I'd hand you the tea and not say much at all. The porch don't need a reason to be good, it just needs two chairs and one of them full.
Workshop note — First person addressing someone absent, present, unhurried. Front porch acoustic is a letter set to guitar: pile ordinary details until the absence shows. At 70 BPM sing conversationally and leave breaths in.
